How to stop players from playing in the reserves?

This was a hard one making up a title for, but I hope it makes sense.

I had three equal young attacking midfielders in my reserve team, and two of them were complaining that the competition was to hard for them (w ankers), so I put them on the transfer list and got them sold.

Now the problem is that the two transfers won't take place until january (six months away in the game) so I still have them in my team until then, but I don't want them to play in the reserves and take valuable match training from the midfielder I kept.

How can I stop them from playing in the reserve games although I keep them in the reserve team?

Cheers.

if they are in your reserves squad go to the resreves click on the player and it should say on the thing in the reserves. it then should under that available for reserves. just click that and it will take the dot and they wont play for the reserves. sorry i cant be any clearer.

Aha, I think I know what you mean...I didn't think of that, cheers!

Right-click their names in the reserve squad list, select squad, de-select the option for 'available for reserves'. If this doesn't work, you'll need to put them in your senior squad and do the same

this is the english and clearer version cheers for making clearer for him mate.

You could simply take over the control of the reserves not select them to play and holiday through the games

oh no i was thanking you cos my didnt make any sense tbh. so cheers.

when you sell somebody through the season and have to wait for him to go to his new club, I want him not just to stop playing but not to train also so that when he leave he'll be even worse player for couple of months.

So make new training schedule.

in the new schedule make it in such way that there is no training at all. everything to zero. and move everybody already sold in it. in that way they lose some of their skills, depends on the time not training.

Also move them in the first squad just to be sure they won't play in reserves or youths.

if they are in the reserves and you do what jimbob and myself have said then you dont need to put them in the first team. also if a player doesnt train at all he should lose points. well i thinnk he will anyway.
